We have a made it, the time to discuss the state of the Ottawa Senators goaltending. Their star starter on a leave of absence, their 23-year-old backup thrust into the number one spot, no one with proven NHL experience elsewhere in the organization.
This franchise has had some unfortunate days over the years but whatever the hell happened yesterday has to be right up there. In the morning, fans were still reeling from an ugly loss in Utah.
The year started on a good note for the Sens, but it doesn't seem that luck is carrying through to any point in January. Facing the best team in the NHL in their current state without a starting goalie was never going to be fun to watch.
With rumors swirling surrounding the reason Ottawa Senators goalie Linus Ullmark has been away from the club, the team released a statement denying any claims made online.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
Things have been tough for Linus Ullmark lately. Until late December, he was in solid form. Through 28 games, he had a 14-8-5 record with a 2.95 GAA and an .881 save percentage.
The Ottawa Senators have done some roster shuffling. The team announced they have activated Lars Eller from injured reserve in time for Thursday’s game against the Colorado Avalanche.

Each day, our writers here at Last Word On Hockey look at the games and give in-depth analysis. Our team breaks down the key matchups, storylines, and stats, then makes predictions based on how they might play out.
The Ottawa Senators are halfway through the season, and at some point, fans will have to accept that the team is exactly what the numbers say it is. After 41 games, the numbers say that the team is, at best, run-of-the-mill.
The Ottawa Senators made a goaltending change ahead of their upcoming road trip. Mads Søgaard was recalled from the Belleville Senators, while Hunter Shepard was sent down to the AHL affiliate to make room on the roster.
It isn’t time for the Ottawa Senators and head coach Travis Green to start panicking just yet. Green’s team sits last in the Atlantic Division standings, but just two points stand between them and the fourth-place team in the division.
Brady Tkachuk took a sucker punch to the face Saturday night in Winnipeg, and the call that followed didn’t really reflect what everyone just saw. Two minutes.

When Steve Staios says he has “full faith” in his goaltending, it’s worth slowing down and listening to how he says it, not just what the words are. General managers don’t choose that phrase by accident.
Fabian Zetterlund scored with 2:22 remaining to lift the host Ottawa Senators to a 4-3 win against the Washington Capitals on Thursday. Zetterlund scored on a one-timer from just below the left hash marks after receiving a backhand pass from Thomas Chabot on the rush, shortly after Aliaksei Protas had tied the game for Washington.
